So there is a wealth of information out there on how to get 5x130 wheels and better quality axles and cv's for our cars.
I am well aware of the 911 hubs or drilled hubs or even adapter plates. Depending on your application, even drilled or 911 hubs need a spacer to fit the rim and tire correctly. So if I were to drill my hubs to 5x4-3/4 (chevy pattern), it would open my world up to literally hundreds of wheel and offset options. Has anyone else done this? does anyone sell these? Surely the racing crowd must use another wheel pattern as not to damage quality 911 rims, or to possibly save weight |

You can still buy brand wheels with correct offset in 5x130 so no reason to worry about that.
I think no issues redilling the rears, the fronts might be more challanging and then your brake upgrade choices suck. You will spend 300 to 400 for quality adapters which will require flares. Adapters that change bolt pattern not legal for most clubs and events. Bottom line you aren't going to be saving any real money. |
